- Living in Nairobi-The Pros & Cons!
In this episode, I dive into the realities of living in Nairobi, Kenya! Western media often portrays Africa in a negative light, but what’s it really like to call this vibrant city home? I share the pros and cons from my experience living here-covering everything from its tech innovation, excellent education, and warm hospitality to the challenges that come with city life. If you’re curious about the truth behind the headlines, this video is for you!

am happy to see many expats who were initialy in nairobi, and later opted to go to SouthAfrica🇿🇦 citing better living conditions there, are now all returning back to nairobi once again after living in SA for a couple few months. that means kenya🇰🇪 has some better things am still yet to know.. 🤔?
Karibu Kenya! Yes we Kenyans we are welcoming & friendly. I love your contents too
This is a very fair assessment. One thing that surprised me as a Kenyan when I was a student in Europe was how cheap butter and cheese were. I realised Kenyans don't consume anywhere near the amount of dairy products as Europeans. On the flip side things such as avocados are very expensive in Europe, while here we let them rot without caring.
So glad you are loving Kenya Weyni. Welcome to Nairobi. 🫶🏾
About the Somalis, Somali is actually one of the 43 tribes. The Somalis you see, majority are Kenyan from North Eastern Kenya. There are some from Somalia who live here since the 90’s, after the Somalia civil war that ousted President Mohamed Siad Barr. So those ones came as refugees & some recent immigrants but generally majority are actually Kenyan , born in Kenya. It’s like Oromos; there is Kenyan Oromos and Ethiopian ones.
Again Karibu. 🫶🏾
Every video mentioning Kenya and Nairobi I just give a view and like
Karibu Kenya we are so welcoming and loving
This intelligent lady is a keeper.
In Sweden we study teknik( IT) from 6 yrs old. I love Nairobi, been there many times.
It warmed my heart to hear your story. I am Australian and moved to Germany and have many African friends here.. so a lot of what you mention is known to me.. I had already seen your Zanzibar video. You seem so very happy. The education side esp history sounds very good. All strength to you. You were a little disappointed with Zanzibar and I'm glad your path has been a good one.
I am excited to hear from you and admire the great consideration you show for other African countries. Nonetheless, many individuals in the Horn of Africa hold unfavorable stereotypes about other Africans. What you are doing on RUclips truly makes us proud!
Yes indeed. When I was once in Addis I was called an "African" by locals only to remind them they ARE Africans themselves and they could refer to a map if in doubt.
Let's go to Nairobi!!😊 Great information! Thanks!
You should!
@@planB-BacktoAfricaconsider visiting malindi
That's really a fair assesment of KE particularly Nairobi ,things can be expensive sometimes but is how we go around the issues are raised ourselves around the norm... Thanks
I’m from Ethiopia living in United States one day for sure I will visit Nairobi…
Sister, I absolutely love your videos, but I just want to clarify one point. The Somalis are not 'foreign' to Kenya - they are actually one of the largest ethnic groups in the country, ranking fifth in population. They primarily inhabit the Northeastern region, which is the largest territorial region in Kenya, larger than any other ethnic group's area. Just wanted to clear that up, and keep up the great work!
The majority of somalis in nrb are illegal migrants. of course we have somalis in Kenya but not all are Kenyans.
@@nicoledinga9948 how come you are not illegal?
Somalians own Kenya
@nicoledinga9948 where did you get these statistics from, who did the survey to establish most of them are illegals..and if its a paper you read to establish this can you cite the author of that investigation..please stop this prejudice and xenophobic behaviour
That's a big fat lie. Somali tribe are actually more than even kambas and kisii@@nicoledinga9948
Your assessment is of high quality, you do thorough research and your comparative analysis is out of this world. Everytime you post ..i make sure I watch your insightful videos
Love your contents Wyeni, keep up the good work. Wish you success in all your endeavors.
We need a competition in the African air travel business. We are sick of it. Paying toooo much.
Great 😊 Kenya is indeed a beautiful place not just to live in but also work and do business! The only letdown is our corrupt and incompetent leaders led by Ruto himself! 😏
I’m happy you chose Kenya to be your home 🏡 Welcome 🤗
You don't need to bring your toxic politics here
Great video. This is not a critique but a different perspective. I would love if you could highlight the cost of living for the local Nairobians. Expats have been a part of work life for a long time but digital nomads are changing how major cities, like Nairobi, or Lisbon, or Bogota, look. More importantly, how much it costs for the locals. We can agree that it's not a good thing to price out locals but can't keep out the foreign currency either! Where is this going?
Glad you are here 🎉 kenya 🇰🇪 karibu sana
Really appreciate your insightful information on Kenya! I watch because I plan on moving there one day! Thanks 😊
Glad it was helpful!
Kenya welcomes you
A few airlines (KQ, ET) have a monopoly in aviation to other African countries so they price high. Other airlines need to step up their African linkages to bring down the prices and give both KQ and ET a run for their money.
Facts💯
Excellent piece. I recommend this to most RUclipsrs. Few can do such a well-informed and excellently presented video
Much appreciated!
Thank you so much my sister for showcasing Kenya positively as your current home country. I honestly Love you, I seriously love my country Kenya 🇰🇪... #najivuniakuwamkenya...
Salam Salam thanks for the feedback
Hi Weyni , I found your channel a week ago and I Iove it. I must say my favorite article from you would be the South Africa (WOW). You also peaked my interest on visiting Nairobi, would like to in the future. Thanks again for your program, (Oscar from New York)
South Africa is beautiful but the downside are the vestiges of apartheid and xenophobic people. I have traveled there as a tourists many times and faced the wrath of locals refusing to speak English to me. They respond negatively coz they suspect I am one of those who came to steal their Jobs.
Wauuh great to hear that sister, we loved u back mwaa❤, inspiration journey
Asante sana na ameseganalu! I lived 11 years in Nairobi, where I became a soap opera star and successful TV producer. I was also working with Wangari Maathai on a project related to the "green wall of africa" when she died. I had given her a large painting I did in Kenya, I wonder if it's still hanging in her family's house.
So beautiful 🙏🏾 thanks for sharing!
My first time getting to know you was in this Nairobi blogs,wish i could pay you all , you do it right,i feel your blogs,,do a country tour too,the rift valley, naivasha, coast etc 👌❤️🔥🙏
@@zedekiahkwame640 thank you. And yes so much to explore here in Kenya and share with the world 😍 stay tuned for more 🙌🏾
In Kenya we learn about Kenya east Africa,Africa and case studies about specific world countries you grow up knowing a lot am in Germany and my Kenyan studies helped me a lot in school over here💯🔥
Your content is awesome!!!!
Keep the vides coming...
Thank you so much for your videos about life in Africa, especially in Zanzibar and Kenya. Your unique storytelling style, filled with informative and helpful tips, along with your personal experiences highlighting the pros and cons, will undoubtedly assist those planning to settle in these countries. I visited Kenya in 2018 and Zanzibar in 2024 for a few days, and I feel the need to return for a longer period.
There's an important matter I'd like you to cover in a video. Could you please provide information on the legal status of long-term stays in Kenya and Tanzania? How can an individual obtain a residence permit beyond the regular visitor's visa if they wish to settle for a year or two with their family? What are the requirements for such a permit?"
Regards.
Karibu muno.welcome dear One.
Thanks for your positive comments.
@@righttoknowwiththomas9178 Asante sana 🙏🏾
I watch your videos. I enjoy them You are incredible lady so many different talents thank you. Keep up the good work.👏👏👏
Thank you for this video! Can you please make a video about visas for foreigners looking to move to Kenya? Which visa/permit did you apply for to stay long term in Kenya? Thanks!
Just visit on a 3 month visit/tourist visa and once in the country, apply for your desired resident category visa (i.e Business/investor visa, staff visa, dependant visa, volunteer visa or the upcoming Nomad Worker visa). Seek the service of a law or relocation firm for proper advise and quick application.
@@lifehacks1019 Thank you so much for your response! I am planning to move to Nairobi next year and will be working remotely for a UK company from Nairobi. I was doing some research on the type of visa I would need to be able to stay in Nairobi but I did not feel I fit into any of the visa categories/options. You are right in that I should probably get a 3-month tourist visa which will enable me to speak to people/experts on the ground and get get my paperwork in order while I'm there. Thanks again 🙏
I think in regards to prices, i think it all depends on supply and demand
...welcome home...we love yall Ethiopians...our bros and siz
Asante sana 🙏🏾
If you want a peaceful place to live, please go to Botswana.
Yes but an expensive place to live I beleive
Even Mogadishu is peaceful, otherwise no one will be living there. Peace is everywhere, open your eyes my.
Nice country but very expensive country plus the weather is not better than Nairobi.
Nope 👎
Sadly any African nation that even remotely endorses this agenda needs some deep consideration FACTS or acquiesces to it 🤐👍

I've been to Denver many times, the Mile High City in America, and it takes a while to adjust, but you do.
Wow Weynesh check you out! Smashing it on RUclips.
hope you will return to Addis soon, stay blessed and enjoy your adventures.
Thank you, I will 🙏🏾
Hey. Talking of "welcome home sister"...haven't I seen this video b4? It's a pleasure to watch it again...and again😂
Beautiful videos.
Could you please provide me with information on the process of obtaining an apartment in Nairobi? I plan to relocate there soon.
I love Ethiopian or Eritrean RUclipsr….
I agree with you kenyan are great people
I live in Hamburg....Germany Born in Westlands Nairobi.
I think you should just not flex just flow.
I will be coming to Nairobi next year. Heck, if.l get a nice one room SQ. I will chill and keeping my remote job.
Visit Nanyuki , Kenya.
It's the best place to live in Kenya
Really? It has the best specific place I have ever visited in Kenya, but I am not sure about being the best place to live in.
Great narration skills
You have new subscriber. I will share this very informative video. I must come back to Nairobi. Does Kenya have any USA communities? Thanks for sharing!
Hi Malcom,
There's a big American community in Kenya. Watch Auston Holleman's videos on Kenya. He's helping Americans intending to visit Nairobi..You can get his contacts on RUclips.
as a kenyan just wondering why u chose kenya over ethiopia, addis Ababa looks well developed
I was in kenya a week ago would have hosted you kisiii ...we have house in nairobi and kisii....when i visit will find you....we have kenyan somalis and refugees they always get mixed.
A major point you are forgetting is Mpesa...that was a game changer. Nowadays we rarely walk with money
😅
You are so right!
I went to Kenya in 2019 initially staying in a nice hotel near the airport.There was nothing nearby.Passing through Nairobi to get a Hunters plane to Diani Beach the town looked very basic and run down in places.I found it was quite expensive at the hotel in Diani Beach.Since then, I have heard from Kenyan friends that the standard of living has really gone up high!
thank God you are not kenyan...atleast you got to go back to your country.... and please...stay there...never come out😅😅
#MarkScho
It's obvious u didn't actually "visit" Kenya. Plus u seem to have some kind of superiority based preconceived notions about "these countries"?😢
@@MarkScho that's not how I would visit your country ‼️
@raandit471 To be fair, I only went there for 1 week - 2 days in Nairobi and 5 days in Diani Beach.I did not have transport so basically stayed in and around the hotel areas so didn't get to see much of the country
Very informative video 👍
Hey what do you do in Nairobi for a living? private schools are very expensive...so is health care
The borders in the continent are artificial and therefore groups occupy several territories .
Like the Oromo of Ethiopia, Kenya the Somali are predominantly Cushitic and occupy Kenya, Ethiopia, Somalia, Djibouti .
The Maasai are Nilotic with variations of Nilo-Saharan/Nilo-Cushitc due to their migratory patterns and occupy Kenya, Tanzania .
Like the Nilotic Luo of Kenya(Obama,Lupita),Luo of Uganda( Luo-Langi like President Miton Obote, Army Chief Gen David Oyite Ojok, Luo-Acholi like President Gen Tito Okello, Army Commander Gen Bazilio Olara Okello, LRA rebels against Yoweri Museveni JOSEPH KONY, Okot Odhiambo, WOMAN KING ACTRESS SHEILA ATIM),Luo of Tanzania ,DRC Congo, Sudan/Lower Egypt, Chad, Central Africa Republic, Ethiopia Gambella/Eritrea .
The Waswahili of Kenya, Zanzibar(President Sheikh Abeid Karume),Pemba, Lamu, Pate,Tanganyika, Mozambique, Madagascar/Malagasy and Southern Somalia .
The Nilo-Sahelian Fulani of Nigeria(President Muhammadu Buhari), Senegal, Cameroon, Chad, Central Africa republic,Mali,Gambia .
The Banyarwanda of Rwanda(President Paul Kagame),Congo ,Uganda .
The Banyankole of Uganda(President Yoweri Museveni),Rwanda .
The Barundi of Burundi, Tanganyika .
The Nubians of Sudan and Egypt with colonial/post-colonial Nubians in Kenya, Uganda .
The Shona of Zimbabwe(President Robert Mugabe), Mozambique, Kenya,Southern Africa territories etc .
I invite you to Kigali City. You won't regret
Im Coming soon. Can’t wait 🙏🏾
@planB-BacktoAfrica let's connect when you're here. We can DM anytime
I thought you were looking to move to South Africa?
I thought you lived in South Africa for a while? Why did you not mention it?😅
NBI misses you!
I thought you were moving to South Africa lol. Anyway, thanks for the great video and content.
Many Somali Diaspora are in Europe and America and Australia
And in Rwanda, Zambia, South Africa, and kenya, while in Kenya, many of them are Kenyan Somalis from the Garissa and Mandera NFD.
*What is the process required to stay there for a long time or citizenship?*
@@fallonmassey4714 watch more of her on this too 🙏
this sister is a rainbow, one day red one day blue,one day zanzibar is good over kenya or south africa is good over kenya
Livingstone Zambia has its own national park.
It's the only capital city in the world with a national park
Nakuru City in Kenya has a national park too. She is talking of a capital City.
You are such a lovely ❤❤❤sister
I was told that Indian they don’t say they are from Kenyan….
Someone lied to you bro.
Ooh. My sister, those are not Somali diaspora..😢
They are Kenyans, who happen to be Somali. Would u describe Somalis in Ogaden as "diaspora"? Its unfortunate thst the British drew lines and divided the Somali people.
Oh, i'm not Somali, but they are ours!😂
People don't understand ethnic Somalis are one of the largest tribes in Kenya. And it's very easy to tell a Kenyan Somali and a Somali from Somalia apart.
@@raandit471 she could have probably just meant Kenyan somalis we too can't for surely tell,cause to them Kenya and Somalia is just a border line,like the oromos on the Kenya Ethiopia borders ‼️🙏
Not all Somalis are Kenyans though and actually most of them are refugees and here illegally 😏
Ethnic Somalis in Kenya are incredibly diverse as in where they come from. They include indigenous Somalis from Garissa, Mandera, and the NFD, as well as diaspora Somalis from places like Sweden, Australia, Norway, and the US. Many also come directly from Xamar and Hargeisa, where Somali businessmen have moved their families to neighborhoods like Langata and Karen, while the less affluent are making their shillings in Eastleigh.
The Somali demographic in Kenya is not a monolith-it consists of Somalis from across the globe
@@our10picks18 Fact checked, The majority of Somalis in Kenya are there legally, but the population is diverse and includes different legal statuses, and as mentioned in my previous comment, The Somali demographic in Kenya is not a monolith-it consists of Somalis from across the globe, a large bracket of Somalis in Nairobi have dual US, Swedish, Norwegian, Australian, Dutch, Swiss citizenship.
❤God Bless Your Path 🇿🇦 would be nice to link up you and do some business! Supply and demand! 🎉
Oh no, best city is windoek in Namibia
You kinda resemble American actress Vivica Fox
Somali is a tribe in Kenya… It’s cheaper to fly outside Africa
i like to live in somalia
🙏🇪🇷💝🇪🇹🙏
